Where the hell have i been?
I feel like i've nearly vanished from the internet world and i'm not sure how to go about getting back. every time i think about updating, i know i'm going to miss out on so much because i've been busy as can be lately.
with school ending and most of my close friends ending their college career, the gang has been getting together lots and making the cutest memories (and pictures!). drag shows turned us on. we went to prom and drank and cried. we made out on couches while the black party went on around us. we went out to dinners, sat in parks, danced at players, and figured out our plans. theyseguys have become such a tight group it's hard to believe we're going separate ways soon. it makes me wonder, what happened in april?
my business has picked up and i'm insanely busy. apparently everyone has a dirty house or messy yard or child to be babysat and i'm the only one who can do it. it's really great money but my body is often worn down and tired. i just keep reminding myself that this is only for a few more months until Brooklyn and it's worth it. while i'd love to go back to the 20 hour work week i once had, it just couldn't last. plus, for the most part, i really love what i do and the people are hilarious. yesterday, olgie gave me a bag of chocolate b/c i was cleaning out her yard and did a job that was horrible. she usually gives me flowers and dog treats. chocolate was such a nice improvement :)
the other day my great uncle john died. while this is extremely sad in itself, it's also been weird b/c my parents have had to contact me about the funeral, my grandma, etc. perhaps a death will somehow break down silence. perhaps it will just leave me confused.
afton met my "parents" and Bubbie (sp?) the other day when we went over to the Brown's house for dinner. I miss home-cooked meals and they made up for it! OMG. HEAVEN! It was so nice to be with adults that I admire and have them embrace my love for Afton. This was also the case when we went to her house for Easter. And speaking of easter,....the egg hunt was a blast! Afton put together the cutest little basket for me and i repaid her with the most intense egg hunt of her life!
And finally, as the pups are dying to leave the room and i need to get ready for work, AFTON AND I BOUGHT A DIGITAL CAMERA!! I'm so excited that we have our own so we don't need to rely on others anymore. and i can go around taking pictures of things in State College that i love before moving. and my pups! Oh wow.
OH!!!!.....and, i totally made an error on my taxes so i had hundreds of dollars sent back to me. it was such a huge relief to not be completely poor! ANd I went to a bridal shower the other day! And i've been out with friends lots and falling asleep next to pizza boxes. and i'm getting over my cold/allergies! and afton's family is coming this weekend for her graduation party! so many good things!
Okay, i'm so excited i need a breakfast bagel to calm down :) Hopefully, I'll stop around here more often. we'll see.
